Glasgow & West Scotland: GXO Logistics support staff at BAE Clyde shipyards strike on 8–9 and 11–12 June 2026
Last Updated:
GMB Scotland says GXO logistics staff who supply tools and materials to BAE Systems’ Clyde yards will stop work at Govan and Scotstoun on 8–9 June, with further walkouts at BAE supply hubs in Linwood on 11 June and Eurocentral on 12 June. The dispute centres on a rejected three‑year pay offer (3.5% then 3%/3%) and pay parity with BAE employees; the union reports a 97% yes vote on an 84% turnout. While aimed at logistics, the action could disrupt construction of Type 26 Royal Navy frigates.
This alert was originally created on 8 June 2026.
